Pros
- Historically Rio Tinto have paid well for the Brisbane market - Very effective and efficient SAP delivery shop that pumps out 1,000's of changes/ year with minimal disruptions
Cons
- Company used to be great but due to cost cutting they are outsourcing and offshoring roles away from Brisbane with outsourcing going to a single partner (Accenture) and permanent roles being moved offshore to Singapore, the US and Canada - As a result a lot of "good people" (to quote Rio Tinto) have left the business and this will only continue - Anyone who joins IS&T in Brisbane must consider their role at threat to be offshored as there is an active approach of moving resources offshore - The pace is frenetic. Friends who still work there are exhausted as they work harder to compensate for the extra work generated by the outsourcing and offshoring - Morale is atrocious and people are just waiting for their redundancy package.
